José Carlos Brito (Voginha)
- Música
- compositor
He is an unavoidable reference of Cape Verdean music, and a staunch defender of the morna and coladeira. Through the guitar, Voginha has perpetuated these musical genres, traditional and unique in the cultural identity of Cape Verde. He inherited from his father (Tazinho) the taste and the way to play the traditional music of her country.
His contribution to the preservation and dissemination of morna comes from a long time ago, both in musical formations that had their genesis in these traditional styles — the case of Mindel Band is just one of the examples — and through his participation in numerous recordings, where with the knowledge and interpretative quality, Voginha registered the harmonious combination of the traditional rhythms and instruments of Cape Verde.
